Bullets Tore Through His Leg in Vegas, But What This Man Does Next Defines Being American
Independent Journal Review ^ | 10/04/2017 | Caleb Hull

On Sunday, a shooter opened fire from the 32nd floor of a hotel in Las Vegas on a country music festival below, killing at least 59 and injuring hundreds. Of those shot and hospitalized was Thomas Gunderson.

Then, on Wednesday, President Donald Trump and Melania flew to Las Vegas to meet with victims and came across Gunderson in the hospital. The next moment that was captured and posted on Facebook is something he will likely always remember.

As the president and first lady entered his room, Gunderson stood up, despite being shot in the leg to greet the two with the upmost respect.

Watch:

The caption of the video that Gunderson posted on Facebook read:

“I will never lie down when the President of this great country comes to shake my hand! There may be plenty of issues in this country but I will always respect my country, my president and my flag. Shot in the leg or not, I will stand to show my President the respect he deserves!”

Powerful.

“Donald J. Trump ALWAYS appears that he is on the job.”

Yes. And so does Melania.

The flack she took when leaving the White House to get on the plane to go down to Houston was unreal. Dressed very nicely because she was at the White House. She brought a change of clothes for when she landed and would go to help in Houston.

Garbage msm.

There’s a woman who gets coffee where I do- this morning she told us that her 20 yr old son and his girlfriend were at the Las Vegas concert. They were standing in front of the stage when the shooting started.

They were with another couple, and the other guy is a Marine. The Marine said “Did you hear that? That whizzing sound? Someone is shooting!” And right then a man standing next to them was hit in the shoulder and blood was everywhere. And then the woman that man was with was hit, in the head, killing her.

They were trapped in the crowd, couldn’t move. My friend’s son called her, told her what was going on, said goodbye, he thought he for sure he was going to die.

God lord

Damn shame no one could return fire from anywhere basically

A long rifle in a pickup

Or a cops AR

THE shooter at 400 yards jus let her rip no aiming

Why is such a big question
